Hi Twinkles

A lite an easy drive , would be to head up our way to Yea area
with a mission to drive thru the old railway tunnel.

Its quicker for you know as you head up the freeway to Ringwood.
The freeway is worth checking out by itself if you have not already.

Then via Yarra Glen as you drive past various wineries and coffee shops thru the notorious Tolangi (on the bitumen road) and soon you come to Glenburn , where you can witness the enormous construction effort and ripped up farmland with hundreds of huge pipes laid end to end as part of the effort to take water from the Eildon area to feed Melbourne.

As of last friday the pipes stop right opposite the Gleburn roadhouse which makes the greatest coffee.
As you have a coffee you can see where 6am last week they bulldozed a 90 year old pine at the back of the church, which was planted in memory of the 1st world war dead.

Heading north, just before yea you turn right and work you way up to the tunnel itself.
Its great to drive thru. If you like driving skill tests you can drive thru without your lights on.

Have a picnic in the area, then depending on time you can choose several different ways back.

All the main waterfalls are running hot at the moment so I'd go back via ginters road thru the forrest taking in the Murrindini falls (walk) and suspension bridge.

Drive across the border to Albury NSW and spend a few bob there!!! Boy!!! the state needs the cash!!!! Michael.
